Hi everybody. Newbie to the forum.
I started a smoker build with a 60 gallon Compressor tank. I'm using Feldon's calculator to plan out all of the dimensions, and will have a build topic.
However, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the black paint that is on the outside of this tank. I thought I could loosen it up with an oxy acetylene torch and angle grind (with wire brush) right off, but all I'm doing is knocking off the surface of the paint. Normally I would use a spray on paint stripper, but I'm hesitant to use that around a future food cooker.
Any suggestions?
For the final finish, my plan was to re-spray it with a high temp paint. If I can get nice bare metal I'm also considering boiled linseed oil.
